Good Morning Bill -

The ASO AC process is completely open to input from any interested party, as there is a wide range of communities that 
may want to provide input into the process.  In some cases, communities may coalesce around a single submission and in 
others (such as I would expect among NANOGers) there’s likely to end up being a variety of different views submitted by 
those interested in this topic.

Nothing precludes you from having as much “discussion and debate” as you need for the germination of your ideas, but 
you do not get to constrain others as to how they wish to develop & submit their own ideas into the process.

The ASO AC will consider all of the input received on a global basis and use it to evolve the proposed ICP-2 principles 
accordingly.  The ASO AC (also known as the NRO NC) is comprised of members that were elected by the community in each 
RIR region to represent the respective communities for these sorts of processes –  just as they do in global Internet 
number resource policy development.

For the ARIN region, the representatives are Kevin Blumberg, Nick Nugent, and Chris Quesada (Chris serving thru 2024, 
with Amy Potter elected & starting in Jan 2025.)   If you have concerns about the process being followed by the ASO AC 
in the development of the ICP-2 principles, I would suggest raising such with any of the representatives from this 
region.

Thanks!
